Evgenia Penman illustrated picture book and Forward INDIES winner Bringing The Beach Home by Laura Atkins. In this lyrical story, a child uses creativity to find comfort within the changes of divorce. Rowan finds peace in the sounds of the waves and the feel of the sand, and a wind chime made from collected beach treasures becomes a symbol of comfort, resilience, and the power of creating with our feelings. Published by Collective Book Studio.

“When author Laura Atkins first shared her story with me, I knew it was something special – tender, truthful, and deeply personal. I felt the weight of getting it right, and I poured everything into every page.” — Evgenia Penman
